Short summary
This study finds that the disproportionate multi-decadal trends between particulate nitrate and NOx emissions in Canadian urban atmospheres are driven by reductions in primary fine-fraction nitrate emissions, localized dispersion processes, and wind anomalies modulated by the Arctic Oscillation. These results help explain the weak or absent response of fine-fraction nitrate to NOx emission reductions observed globally, particularly in cold-climate regions.
